The Lady Is a Tramp

The Lady Is a Tramp - Anita O'Day (安妮塔·奥黛)

I've wined and dined on Mulligan stew and never wished for turkey

As I hitched and hiked and grifted too from Maine to Albuquerque

But social circles spin too fast for me

My hobohemia is the place to be

I get too hungry for dinner at eight

I like the theater but never come late

I never bother with people I hate

That's why the lady is a tramp

Don't like crap games with barons and earls

Won't go to Harlem in ermine and pearls

Won't dish the dirt with the rest of the girls

That's why the lady is a tramp

I like the free fresh wind in my hair

Life without care

I'm broke it's oke

Hate California cold and it's damp

That's why the lady is a tramp

I like the free fresh wind in my hair

Life without care

I'm broke it's oke

Hate California it's cold and it's damp

That's why the lady is a tramp

I like the free fresh wind in my face

Diamonds and lace no got so what

I'm alone when I lower my lamp

That's why the lady is a tramp
